. HOSTETTER'S
STQMAGHJiTTEItS.
'j L« proprietors and nianufactiircrs of IIOS
TETILH S CELEBRATED STOMACH BIT
TERS can appeal with perfect confidence to
physicians and citizens generally of the United
States, because the article has attained a repu
tation heretofore unknown. A few facts upon
this point will speak more powerfully than
volumes of bare assertion or blazoning puffery.
The cotisumpiion of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters for the last year amounted to over a half
million bottles, and from its manifest steady
increase in times past, it is evident that during
the coming year the consumption will reach
near one million hot lies. This immense amount
could never have been sold but for the rare
medicinal properties contained in the prepara
tion, -md the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in those sections of the country
where the article is best known, who not only
recommend the Bitters to their patients, but
arc ready tn all times to give testimonials to its
cftieacy in .-ill cases of stomachic derangements
and the diseases resulting therefrom.
This is not a temporary popularity, obtained
by extraordinary efforts in the way of trum
peting the qualities of the Bitters, but a solid
estimation of an invaluable medicine, which is
<.L -title.l to be as enduring as time itself.
Hostetler's i-domach Bitters have proved
a Godsend to regions where fever and ague
and various other bilious complaints have
counted their victims by hundreds. To be
able to .-late confidently that the “Bitters''
arc a certain cure for the Dyspepsia and like
diseases, is to the projirictors a source of un
alloyed pleasure. It removes all morbid matter
from the stomach, purifies the blood, and
imparts renewed i itality to the nervous system,
giving it. that tone and energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. It operates upon
the stomach, liver, ami other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them
to :tcondition essential to the healthy discharge
of the functions of nature.
Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily ns
per directions on the bottle, ami they will find
in it a stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort
declining years, as it is pleasant to (he palate,
invigorating to the bowels, excellent ns a lonic,
ami rejuvenating generally. AVe have the evi
dence of thousands of aged men and women
who have experienced the benefit of using this
prepar.ition while suffering from stomach de
rangements ami general debility : acting under
the advice of physicians, they have abandoned
all deleterious drugs and fairly tested the
merits of this article. A few words to the
gentler sex. There are certain periods when
their cares are so harassing that many of them
sink under the trial. The relation of mother
and child is so absorbingly tender, that the
mother, especially if she be young, is apt to
forget her own health in her extreme anxiety
for her infant. Should the period of maternity
arrive during the summer season, the wear of
body and mind is generally aggravated. Here,
then, is a necessity for a stimulant to recupe
rate the energies of the system, and enable the
mother to bear up under her exhausting trials
and responsibilities. Nursing mothers gene
rally prefer the Bitters to-all other invigoru
tors that receive the endorsement of physi
cians, because it is agreeable to the taste as
well as certain to give a permanent increase
of bodily strength.
Ail i hose persons, to whom we have particu
larly referred above, to wit: sufferers from
fever and ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea,
dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, anil
ail diseases or derangements of the stomach,
superannuated invalids, persons of sedentary
occupation, and nursing mothers, will consult
their own physical welfare by giving to Hos
tetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters a trial.
CAUTION.—We caution the public against
n.-inT tiny of the many imitations or counter
feits" but ask for Hostettek’s Cnr.EBBATKj)
Stomach Bittehs, and see that each bottle has
the words “ Dr. J. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters”
blown on the side of the bottle, and stamped
on the metallic cap covering the cork, and
! observe that our autograph signature is on the
label.

The Charleston Mercury republishes an ar
ticle of the Now York Tribune published
Oct. 22,1860. The following is the Tribune’S
closing paragraph :
The possibility of disunion on the part of
the South is almost too absurd either for dis
cussion or ridiculo. In the first place, she
does not intend it; in the second pdace, she
hasn’t the power to make the attempt, even if
she bad tho will; and, finally, she could not
accomplish it if she had both thewill and the
power to make the attempt. The local police
nt Washington are quite strong enough to
suppress any incipient rebellion at tho seat
of government, and a revenue cutter off
Charleston bar would bo likely to make blue’
rosettes in South Carolina as scarce as blue rd
ses.
Tho Congregation of £l. W. Beecher's
Church in Brooklyn, have equipped two hun
dred men for the war upon the South, fur-’
nishing them with pistols, guns, clothing and
all other things necessary to a complete out-'
fit.
Hellish Suggestions.— The Westminster
(Ca,) Democrat reminds the Pennsylvania
Volunteers that Baltimore “has always been
celebrated for the beauty of its women
that “the fair were ever the reward of the
brave” and, “that Beauty” and Beoty was
the watchword at New Orleans.
AVlxu 3iu«t Conquer T
The Northern papers allege, (bat, as the
North is superior in capital and in popula
tion, they must conquer the South. They
carry their majority in politics into war.'
Brute power must prevail.
One might suppose that these people are as
ignorant of the affairs of nations as they are
of the principles of the government under
which they live. Has the strongest nati’otfiW
capital and population always prevailed in
the contest between nations? Did Philip of
Spain or Louis XIV. of France subdue llol
and ? Did Great Britain subdue our ances
tors in 1776 ? Is it not amazing that a peo
ple who won their independence and liber
ties against the most fearful odds in physical
power, should now rely upon it as all suffi
cient to subdue the people of tho South ?
The truth, wc fear, is that the whole North
ern p ipulation is completely brutalized/
Engrossed in plundering the South, and in
material pursuits, they have lost al! precep
tion of the nobler characteristic attributes of
our nature. Justice, honor, truth, are noth
ing in their estimation, in influencing the re
sult of the conflict. The spirit which ani
mates a people is nothing on the field of bat-’
tie. The number of arms and muskets deter
mines the victory. They bring eighteen'
thousand and we twelve thousand—therefore
wc must be conquered.
The truth is, not only mere numbers in na
tions—but mere numbers in battles, have
never determined victories. The skill of
leaders as well aS the spirit of the soldiers
engaged,determine the fate of battles. What
makes the French armies so formidable, is
not their size and numbers. They are a small
race—as the Romans were who conquered
the world. It is the spirit which actuates
the French soldiery, that constitutes their
military greatness.
And when the Northern hordes come to in
vade the South, will they not awake a spirit
in the Soulhthafwiil be unconquerable? They
c me to make us their colonies and tributa
ries. They threaten to desolate our land by
insurrections, and to give up our cities to be
•sacked and burned by a licentious soldiery.
Wc fight for our liberties—our homes —our
country. Is there no inequality in motives
here, between the assailants and the assail
ed? Suppose both people to be equally brave
—are not the motives which will lead to a
daring self-devotion, far greater in the one
people than the other, when contending for
mastery in battle? If the Northern soldiery
aro beaten —what do they lose? Nothing.-
They only do not gain a conquest over ns.-
But if we fail in battle— what do we of the
South lose ? Every thing which is worth liv-'
ing or dying for. Can mere numbers be
toiious in such a contest? The Northerner
reasons as if a man Was a mere brute, and
had none of those high aspirations which
Jink him with the divinity.— Charleston
cury.
The Havana Press on the Crisis. —The
Havana papers publish in detail the news
from the United States, and comment volumin
ously upon it. The Rrenscl says;
The confusion which must reign in the
United States, with the calling out of the
militia the preparations for war, can scarcely
be conceived. The general dissatisfaction,-
Itowever, manifests itself in a thousand diff
erent ways; because the people well' under
stand that the result of all these' sacrifices
will be that the drama will end where it oughts
to have begun, with tho recognition of thv
independence and nationality of the two sec
tions into which the old republic is already
divided, and the conclusion of treaties of amity
and commerce. But, in the meantime, disas
ter is to succeed diaster without the possibili
ty of remedy. What blindness on the part ol
